PREFACE.

The object of the following Genealogy is to
preserve from oblivion the more remote history of
the pioneer ancestors of the Fretz family, and to
place upon record the names and biographies of their
descendants from father to son, down to the present
time and generation. For many years the author
of this work felt a desire to know more about his
ancestry, and the particulars connected with his
progenitors and their descendants than the meager
legends, and traditions related to him by individual
members of his own family.

Consequently during the winter of 1872 he
visited among the connection in Bucks, Co., Pa.,
collecting such facts, and data as were accessible.
It was the original intention to prepare a history
of his own branch of the family only, but having
been deeply interested in the work himself, he also —
naturally awakened a like interest in individuals of
the other branches. It was then decided to make the
history a general one, by collecting, and introducing
all facts that could be so arranged without making
the work too expensive and voluminous. The actual
work however of compiling this history was not
begun until the spring of 1888. The task, an arduous
one, was undertaken none too soon.

— 6 —

It should have been begun years ago, while there
were yet living those of the third generation, who
could have given more satisfactory information of
the early ancestors that would be of great interest,
and value to the work, but which with their demise
is forever lost. Already the ancestral thread was lost
to many who were unable to trace their lineage
farther than to the grandfather, or were totally
unaware of the fact that they were in any way
connected with the Fretz family.

Had the author been aware of the gigantic pro-
portions the work would assume, in tracing the
branches and whereabouts of many of the descend-
ants, and collecting the necessary information, it is
more than probable the work would never have been
undertaken. It is to be regretted that the records
are not more complete in many of the branches.
Owing to a lack of interest in the matter, some, for
reasons best known to themselves, failed to respond
to inquiries for information concerning their respect-
ive families, thereby causing these defects.

The work has been prepared at a greater sacri-
fice of time than was anticipated. Had all promptly
responded to communications the work would have
been far easier. The writer is far from satisfied with
the result of the work. He is aware that imperfec-
tions exist, but pleads in extenuation of the fact that
the difficulties were insurmountable.

The author acknowledges himself indebted to
the many friends for kind favors received during the
compilation of this work, and while we express our
sincere gratitude to all who in any way aided us,
we especially acknowledge our indebtedness to those
who have very materially aided us. They are as

Hendricks, A. M., of Doylestown, Pa., Prof. A. B.

That the work may meet with general approval
is the earnest wish of the

Author.

INTRODUCTION.

The history of the Fretz family in America^has
hitherto been unpreserved save by personal recollec-
tions transmitted from generation to generation and
by such information as may be found in family
Bibles, church archives, public records, etc., and was
fast being lost to the world. The want of some
accurate, complete, enduring record of this old and
numerous stock has therefore long been felt and
the undersigned, among other descendants of the
blood, finally suggested the compilation and publica-
tion of a formal history of the family. The collection
of the information it was at once apparent would
prove a gigantic undertaking and ought to be placed
into the hands of one peculiarly fitted for that
kind of work. As a person thus fitted, there stood
out in bold relief Rev. A. J. Fretz, and he was
at once solicited to undertake the task. He kindly
consented. The work was begun. Descendants were
hunted up, grandfathers and grandmothers inter-
viewed, family Bil)les and old documents rummaged,
public records searched, thousands of letters written,
years of labor bestowed; and at last the information
attainable is about all attained, the work goes to
press and to-day we present to posterity and to the
world the fruit of our labors. We present the history

— 9 —

of a family whose settlement in this country dates way
back beyond the Revolution, whose descendants have
spread not only over every section of this broad
land but over Canada as well, and whose number has
already grown into swelling thousands. We present
the history of a plain, sturdy, country folk; of an
industrious, thrifty, upright, christian people. We
present the history of an ancestry whereof we are
justly proud and whom we ever delight to honor.
We present the history of a people whose memory
posterity may cherish to endless day and whose vir-
tues the world may well emulate. Up to the present
generation, the family produced few (if any) profes-
sional men. It was a people of peace and quiet. It
was a line of unassuming, conscientious sons of toil.
Most of them were farmers. A few of them adopted
some other manual pursuits. But the generation
of to-day is not confined to the workshop and the
farm. It graces every walk in life. It is represented
in every profession. It has won high honors among
men. It has made its mark in business, in the school-
room, in journalism, in medicine, at the bar, on
the platform, in the pulpit. God speed the new
departure. May the Fretz descendants freely enter
the pursuit for which their tastes and capabilities may
fit them; may they keep pace with the car of prog-
ress, may they aspire to every thing that is worthy
and honorable but may they never forsake the vir-
tues of the fathers and bring shame upon an honored
name. May they so live that the very name shall be
a passport to respect, confidence, preferment. Every
man every hour of his life, whether consciously or
unconsciously, is making history and that history
either is to his credit or it is not. May the Fretz
posterity ever bear this truth in their hearts and so

— 10 —

live that the history of the future shall be as resplen-
dent as the history of the past. In every age monu-
ments have been reared to commemorate noble deeds
and illustrious careers and it is fittino^ that the good
men do be immortalized — immortalized in bronze
and granite and marble, immortalized in statue and
arch and splendid pile. In every age the notable
works of men have been inscribed upon the annals
and it is meet that every worthy deed should be
preserved to the world. There is a monument, an
annal for good things done; and the proudest monu-
ment, the sweetest annal is that of a noble, blameless
life written on the hearts and wrought into the lives
of men. Though the chisel may never inscribe,
though the statue may never preserve, though the
page may never contain and though we have long
been sleeping the last sleep we may still live — live
from age to age, live in those whom we in life have
blest. And though unmarbled, unannaled, unsung,
unwept, unremembered our names may be inscribed
on the book of life. May the Fretz descendants —
though worldly honors never crown their heads,
though their worth and works are unnoticed of men
— strive, whether by their struggle for lofty prizes
or by the beauty of their quiet lives, at least to vierit
the reward. With this hope — this prayerful hope —
we present and commit this work to posterity and
to the world.

LIST OF EXPLANATIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS.

lu the preparation of this work it will be observed that all
descendants are recorded in the regular order of birth, from the
oldest down to the youngest throughout the entire connection,
each generation being marked consecutively from first to last.
The Roman numerals placed before each name are used to
designate the generation to which they belong, as: —
L John Fretz (First Generation).
II. John Fretz, Jr. (Second Generation).

III. Manasseh Fretz (Third Generation).

IV. Margaret Fretz (Hestand.) (Fourth Generation).
V. Hannah Hestand (Urmy.) (Fifth Generation), etc.

Beginning with the first (I.) ancestor John Fretz, all his
children are named in the order of their birth. Then follows
his oldest son John Fretz (II. Generation), and his children,
(III. Generation) next, Manasseh being the oldest, is followed
down to the last of his descendants, then the second in order
of birth of the III. Generation, and so on until the end of the
entire branch of John Fretz, of the II. Generation is reached.
Then the second child of John Fretz, of the I. Generation, viz:
Jacob Fretz, is carried down in like manner to the last of his
descendants, and so on throughout the entire connections.

Where marriages occur between members of the connection
the husband carries the record. In all such cases, a numbered
reference is placed after the name and marriage of the wife,
as, for example — (See Index of Reference No. i.) In the Index
of References, will be found No. i. Hannah Smith, 167 On
page 167 in the body of the book, the family record is given.

In the General Index will be found the names of all males
of eighteen years and over, and the maiden names of all
females of eighteen years, and over ; also the pages on which
their family record is given in the body of the book.

THE FRETZ FAMILY HISTORY.

The brothers John, and Christian Fretz, together
with a third brother (name unknown, and who died
on the voyage), emigrated from near the City of Man-
hcim, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, Germany, for-
merly known as the Palatinate, or Rheinish Prussia.

They were of German origin, as is quite evident
from the fact that they wrote and spoke the German
language, and were connected with a distinctively
German church.* That they were of German origin,
is also evident from the fact that on the opposite side
of the Rhine, in the province of Alsatia, there are to
this day, living where they have lived for the past
two or three centuries, many Fretz's of an old Alsa-
tian Stock, who claim they are of German origin,
"as all true Alsatians are."

The Province of Alsatia was annexed to France
in 1648, prior to that time it was always under Ger-
man Dominion, and while the French language was
exclusively taught in the schools, the language spoken
is a German dialect, with decided variations in differ-
ent localities.

* The Meunonite church, of which Menno Simon (a Hol-
lander by birth) was its founder, had its rise in Holland, but
eventually spread into the adjoining countries of Germany and
Switzerland, where they also became quite numerous.

— 14- —

At what port the Fretz ancestors landed, or the
exact date of their arrival into this country is not
known, but may have been between the years of 1710
and 1720. It is said that they came to this country
during what was known as "the last persecution/^
They were given the alternative of connecting them-
selves with the state church, or leave the country,
and they chose rather than to give up their religious
liberty to leave the "Fatherland,'"' the land of their
birth, and the homes of their kindred and friends, the
graves of their ancestors, and all the hallowed asso-
ciations of the home and country of their nativity,
and found for themselves a home in a strange and far-
off land where they could worship God " under their
own vine and fig-tree," according to the dictates of
their own conscience without fear of molestation.

Undoubtedly they had heard that America af-
forded a refuge for the oppressed and granted reli-
gious liberty to all its subjects, and naturally enough
they turned their steps hither, where they too, might
enjoy liberty of conscience. And thus are we, as
their descendants, citizens of this great liberty loving
country. How we, of to-day, should prize this
liberty! Think what our Ancestors sacrificed to en-
joy it. How they left their native land, a country
established many hundreds of years, to seek a home
in the new world, in the wilds of America.

They came about thirty-five years after the char-
ter was granted, and the great seal of England, with
the signature of Charles H. was afiixed, and William
Penn became the proprietor of Pennsylvania. They
were here about thirty-five years before the French
and Indian war, in which George Washington, was a
British Colonel. Our first ancestor, John Fretz,
slept beneath the sod before the fires of the Revolu-

— 15 —

tion were kindled, or al)out three years before the
battle of Lexington.

They came when the country was but sparsely
settled, when the inconveniences were great, and
when the equally dangerous red man infested the land.
They were still living during the period when some
of the great subjects which eventually led to the war
of the Revolution were being agitated, and their chil-
dren were settled with families during the bloody
struggle for Independence, and although being — non-
combatants, they were true and loyal to the American
cause, and aided it as best they could, without com-
promising their religious faith by bearing arms.

Our ancestors and their immediate descendants
were Mennonites, who worshiped at Deep Run, Bucks
Co., Pa., first in the old log church, which was prob-
ably built in IT^G, and later in the old stone church,
built in 1766, and which stood for over a hundred
years. They no doubt aided in erecting this church,
both by contributing of their means and labor, and
from it they were carried to their last earthly resting
place in the cemetery adjoining. There may their ashes
rest in peace until the trump of Gabriel shall awake
the dead to come forth, and obtain the inheritance of
the faithful.

Which of the two brothers was the elder is not
known as no records of the birth of either have been
found.

Christian, settled in Tinicum township, Bucks
Co., Pa., along the Tinicum Creek, on what is now
known as Heaney's Mill.

It is not known where John Fretz at first settled.
He afterward settled in what was then Plumstead
township, but now Bedminster, on what is kno^vn as
the Old Fretz Homestead, situated about one mile

-U -

North East of Bedminsterville, now owned by Ely
Fretz, and occupied by his son, Mahlon M. Fretz.

The homestead originally consisted of 230 acres
of land, which John Fretz purchased of Bartholomew
Longstreth in 1737 or 1738, for which he paid 106
pounds. The release being given in the latter year
in the month of May. The tract when purchased
had a house, barn, and other buildings, but was sur-
rounded on all sides by vacant and unimproved wild
land. A veritable wilderness. The homestead now
includes the whole or part of four farms — viz, Samuel
High's 69 acres, Ely Fretz's 57 acres, Isaac L. Fretz's
44 acres, and Reuben Miller's 60 acres. John Fretz
was a weaver by trade, and is known as "Weaver
John." Of his public services nothing is known of
especial interest further than that he was one of the
committee to form the new township of Bedminster
in 1741.

He was twice married, but the maiden name of
neither wife is known. By his first wife Barbara, he
is known to have had five children, and by his second
wife, Maria, three. There may have been more, but
if there were they died young.

John Fretz died in 1772, probably in February.
His last will and testament, was dated January 29,
1772, and was probated on the third day of March of
the same year, which shows that he died between the
two dates given. The provisions of the will were that
his son Christian should have the farm, and pay 800
pounds, and each of the children were to have equal
shares, except the sum of 60 pounds which was to be
tlistributed among the children of his first wife, and
which came fi*om their* Grandfather, (probably on the
mother's side.)

- 17 —

To the widow was willed a 100 pounds of which
she was to receive the interest as long as she remained
his widow. She was to have the house in which
George White lived at that time.

The last Will and Testament of John Fretz, as
an old and rather peculiar document, will no doubt be
interesting reading, and of sufficient importance to
warrant its insertion in the history of the connection,
and it is herewith produced — entire as follows:

In the name of God Amen. I, John Fretz, of
the Township of Bedminster in the County of Bucks
in the Province of Pennsylvania, Weaver being sick
in body, but of sound memory blessed be God unto
this day the twenty-ninth day of Januar}^ in the year
of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and sev-
enty-two make this as my last Will and Testament
in manner and form following:

First of all it is my Will that when it shall please
God to call me out of this world my 1)ody shall be
decently buried, and my soul I recommend to God
my Savior.

Secondly, I Will that all my just debts shall be
paid carefully out of my estate, and rest disposed of
as followeth, that is to say, I give unto my beloved
wife Maria, one hundred pounds lawful money to be
paid out of my estate and the said hundred pounds
shaD be put on interest, and my ^vife shall have the
interest yearly during her natural life, or so long
she remains my widow, and if she shall want any of
the principal of the said hundred pounds so that the
interest would not be sufficient for her yearly main-
tenance, it shall be allowed to her sufficient to main-
tain her during her natural life, or so long she re-
mains my widow, and if any is remaining of the said
hundred pounds after her decease; or if she marries

— 18 —

pounds lawful money shall be paid unto the children
of my first wife out of my estate which money came
by their Grandfather, and the said sixty pounds shall

first wife. And as all my children which are married
have had fifty pounds apiece it is my Will that my
son Mark shall have fifty pounds likewise to make

what is above excepted, and except the fifty pounds
which is paid unto my children when married.

And it is further my Will that my daughter

out of my estate, and a cow, and a bed, all which
she shall have when she comes to the age of eighteen
years, and my son Henry shall have his share when'

DESCENDANTS OF JOHN FRETZ,
SON OF WEAVER JOHN.

II. John Fretz (son of Weaver John) was born
Mar. 1730; died May 4th, 1826, aged 96 years. Mar-
ried Mary Kolb, of Tinicmn Twp., Bucks Co., Pa.,
in 1751. She was born Sept. 10th, 1730, died

He lived previous to, and at the time of his
fathers death, in Haycock Twp., Pa., on the To-
hickon, where he owned and run a mill. He after-
wards moved below Doylestown.

In 1800 he emigrated to Canada with all of his
family except his daughter Barbara, who married
Jacob Silvius, and remained with her family in Bucks
Co., and Moses, who went out to Canada the year
previous. The journey to Canada was in wagons,
and on foot. The old people rode and the younger
members of the family walked. It is said that Mrs.
Hippie carried her child aU the way to Canada on foot.

The journey was a very tedious one, through the
thinly settled wilderness. In some places they had
to cut a road through the forests, and for lack of
bridges they had to ford the streams. Thus on their
way they experienced many inconveniencies and
hardships. On one occasion near the close of the
day, something broke about the wagon, without the
repair of which they could not proceed, so one of the
boys took a horse from the wagon, rode back twenty
miles to the nearest blacksmith shop where the iron

22

was repaired, and returned arriving at early dawn,
when the horse was pet to the wagon, and the jour-
ney continued. An incident which will serve to show
the spirit of John Fretz, occurred during his resi-
dence in Pennsylvania, It was during the early days
of the Revolution. The patriot army being some-
what destitute of arms, the soldiers went from house
to house collecting guns for the army, from the
settlers. On coming to his house they asked for his
gun. He took the weapon from its accustomed place,
and replied to the soldiers sa3dng, "Yes, you can
have my gun, but I'll keep hold of the butt end of
it." In 1801, the first Mennonite church was estab-
lished in Canada, — known as Moyer's church. Of
this church he was ordained Deacon in 1801, being
the first Deacon of the Mennonite church in Canada.
Among the relics retained of the home of John
Fretz, is a barrel churn of white cedar, made by him
in Bucks Co., Pa., ninety-four years ago (1796) for
his daughter Elizabeth, wife of Abraham Grobb, and
is now owned by John Grobb, grandson of Eliza-
beth. His children are: Manasseh, Barbara, Abra-
ham, Ephraim, Judith, Moses, Anna, Diana, Sarah
and Elizabeth.

summer. Before he was quite sev^enteen, he obtained
a certificate to teach, and on Jan. 1, 1870, took
charge of his first school. For over thirteen years
he labored in the school room, till failing in health he
was compelled to seek other occupation. At the age
of 22 while teaching a country school, at the modest
sum of liOO a year, he was married. Three years
later, he secured an appointment to a position in the
Central School of St. Catharines. After four years
of hard work, he was promoted to headmastership of
the school. But the unceasing labor, the close con-
finement, and the loss of two of his children so wore
upon his health, that in 1883 he resigned his position
to seek some more active out door life. During the
same year he began the study of medicine, and the
next year he removed to Chicago, where in 1886 he
received his degree at the College of Physicians and
Surgeons, and at once settled down in the same city
to engage in the practice of his profession. Children:

earh' life Mr. Kephart was a farmer, and like the
Revolutionary patriot, Gen. Putnam, at the outl^reak
of the eivil war, left the plow for the field of carnage
at the first call to arms. His military history dates
back to 1855, when he joined the Doylestown Guards,
which at the liegiuning- of the war was captained l)y
W. W. H. Davis, and who tendered the services of
the company to the government at the first call for
75,000 men, for three months. They were the first
troops to pass through Baltimore, Md., after the
Massachusetts Reg't. that met with violence at the
hands of the mob. The company was attached to the
25th Reg t. Pa., Vol., and formed Co. I, of that Reg't.
They were among the troops to make the first advance
into Va. , and during the campaigns in that state they
met the enemy in a skirmish at Harper's Ferry, and
engaged them in battle at Falling water. At the
expiration of enlistment, they were mustered out of
service and returned home. After the Regiment was
mustered out of service Mr. Kephart was promoted
from private to Corporal. Soon after their return,
the 104th Reg t. Pa. Vol. was raised with Capt. W.
W. H. Davis as Col., from whom Corporal Kephart
received his commission as First Lieutenant of Co. B.
The Reg't. joined the Army of the Potomac, and
served through the Penisular Campaign, and engaged
in manj^ of the bloody l^attles of the war. Their first
battle was Lee's Mills; then the siege of Yorktown,
battles of Williamsl)urg, Chickahominy, Seven Pines,
Fair Oaks, Seven days battles, James' Island, John's
Island, taking of Morris Landing, seige of Ft. Sump-
ter and Charleston, Cedar Creek, and Campaigns
before Petersburg and Richmond. After the l)attle of
Fair Oaks, Leut. Kephart was promoted to Captain
of Co. B, and subsequently commissioned Major, then

DESCENDANTS OF CHRISTIAN FRETZ,
SON OF WEAVER JOHN.

II. Christian Fretz, (son of Weaver John) was born
in 1734. He married Barbara Oberholtzer in 1757.
She was born Nov. 20, 1737. Their married life ran
through a course of forty-six years. He died May 1,
1803. His wife survived him twenty years, and
died May 8, 1823. It is a noteworthy fact 'that at the
time of her death, she w^as the mother of twelve chil-
dren, had a hundred and nine grand children, and a
hundred and three great grand children. Previous to
his father's death, Christian, and his l^rother Isaac,
lived on what isjknown as the Isaac Fretz' homestead,
situated in Tinicum Twp., now owned by Henry F.
Myers. He was one of the executors of his father's
estate, and inherited the old homestead in Bedmin-
ster under the conditions previously mentioned in the
will, and where he subsequently lived and died. To
the homestead he added by purchase from his son
John, the tract known as the "Poor Fields," in 1793,
and which consisted of about 30 acres. He and his
wife were members of the Mennonite church, and
worshiped in the ever memoral)le Old Stone Church
at Deep Run, which was the oldest Mennonite con-
gregation in Bucks county. In his day the Indians
were yet quite numerous, and often quite trouble-
some. It is related that he had a very fine horse, to
which the Indians took a particular fancy, and
wanted to buy, but he would not sell it. The Indians
however, determining to gain possession of the horse,
camp by night and stole it Some time after, he

— • 135 —

ascertained where the horse was, and went to the
Indian camp, arriving at evening, and seeing the
horse turned out to pasture, he ceneealed himself
until slumber had fallen upon the inhabitants of the
Avigwam. The Indians had a custom of just before
retiring for the night, to go outside of their wigwams
and shout and make a great noise to frighten away
the Mdld beasts. Knowing this to be the signal for
retiring, he waited until he thought they were sound
asleep, and then entered the lot, secured the horse,
and returned home with it. It is also related that his
son Joseph had a very tine young horse, and that
during the Revolutionary war, when Washington's
Army was encamped below Newtown, that foraging
teams, accompanied by an officer on horseback, came
to Christian Fretz's place for hay for the army, that
the officer saw the horse, and in conversation with
the foragemen, said it was a fine horse, that he would
try and buy it, but if he could not buy it, he would
have it an}'way. The conversation between the
officer and men was over-heard by one of Christian's
daughters, who ran to the house and told her brother,
who was sitting at the loom weaving. As the officer
was coming to the house by the front way, to see him
about the horse, he not wishing to part with it,
leaped through the window, ran to the barn by the
back way unobserved by the officer, mounted the
horse, and rode towards the Haycock Mountain'. The
officer however saw him as he dashed away with the
horse, and followed some distance until he lost track
of him. He rode the horse up through the wilder-
ness countr}', a part of the time fording up the
streams to cover his tracks and hid the horse at the
place now known as Shellenberger's mill. A few
days later the officer came again to Christian's place,
and told him that he icould have that horse.

The next day, however. Christian accompanied by
a neighbor went to the Encampment at Newtown,
and laid the matter before the General in command.
The General gave him a writing of protection, told
him not to trouble himself about the horse, and if the
office}: sbpukl come around ag'ain, to hand bin> that

— 136 —

paper. In a few days the officer came the second
time, and very impiidentl}' made demands for the
horse, whereupon Christian handed him the paper
from the General in command. He looked it over,
dropped, it and left. Among the relics of Christian
Fretz's home is a table now owned by Mrs. Lapp,
who lives at the Doylestown Mennonite meeting
house, which was used in his family, and on which
he, being a wealthy man, counted his money. The
table was bought at the puljlic sale of Christian
Fretz's effects by Joseph Wisler, and is now in pos-
session of his daughter, Mrs. Lapp. The children of
Christian and Barbara Fretz, in the order of their
birth are, viz: John, Agnes, Joseph, Henry, Martin,
Jacob, Abraham, Isaac, Barbara, Christian, Mary,
Elizabeth.

grew until like Paul he could l)ut exclaim, ''Woe is
me if I preach not the Gospel," and therefore he de-

Lord was calling, lie would give himself to this work.

unlimited confidence and respect of the community
in which he lived, so much so that at the close of the
war, which left the rebel states without the protec-
tion of law and order of any kind, the whole com-
munity insisted on his acting as County Magistrate
which office he filled until reconstruction of the state
government was effected under Authority of Con-
gress of U. S. It was well understood all through
the war that he was a Union man, but he did not
make himself obnoxious by ill judged intrusion of
his sentiments upon others in that section, where it
could do no good. Thus he was left alone during the
war except that the armies of both sides encamped
on his place at Thoroughfare Gap, repeatedly and
left neither fence, or living thing of stock on the
place. His losses in property and monej^ caused by
the war was about $40,000.

V. Hen ry Z. Gill, M. D. , L. L. D. , born in Northampton
township, Bucks Co., Pa., Oct. 6, 1831. Mrd. Miss
Mattie W. Carpenter, of Columbus, Ohio, April 21,
1869. She being the only daughter of Timothy R.
Carpenter. After completing his twenty-first year
at home (at the place of birth), he went to a select
school kr>.pt by John Clark, A. M., about two miles
north of New Britain church, remaining several
months. He then returned home, taught school for
ten months in Plymouth Township, Montgomery Co. .
Pa. Some time in 1854 he taught a term of school
near Columbus, Ohio. Having injured his eyes by
too close application to study, he consulted a physi-
cian— connected with a College Eye Infirmary, com-
menced treatment, and after his school term was
completed, by the physician's suggestion and recom-
mendation, he commenced the study of medicine.
His original purpose having been to stud}^ civil engi-
neering. After attending a course and a half of
lectures, and close reading till the fall of 1846 he went
to Jefferson Medical College at Philadelphia, Pa.,
from which he grad'tit^d m March, 1857. During
his time of study in Columbus, Ohio, he had charge
of the dissecting room, and aided in the Eye Infirm-
aiy, These two eircnmstances g^ve him a taste for

— 150 —

■surgery, and diseases of the eye, which were not
neglected, and were of much advantage to him in the
general practice of his profession. After graduating
he returned to Columbus, Ohio, and commenced to
practice, giving especial attention to the eye and ear
though not abandoning the general practice. The
war breaking out in 1861, a call was made for medi-
cal men, a law being passed requiring all to pass
examination; five years of practice being required,
or its equivalent in hospital for assistants, and ten
years for surgeons. Although in the examinations
he and another stood equal (third) in the list of over
fifty admitted to examination, yet he could be ap-
pointed assistant only. In the summer campaign in
West Virginia, he had the entire work of the Regiment
until winter, when he had the first severe sickness of
his life, and from which he probably never fully recov-
ered. The next summer (1862) foreseeing the probable
same experience of all the work with part of the pay of
surgeon, he resigned, and was in a few days appointed
Surgeon of another Regiment, the 95th O. The former
being the 11th Ohio Infantr}^ They were immediately
sent to the field in Kentucky; and on August 30,
1862 and engaged in the battle (three engagements in
one day) of Richmond, Ky., where a large part of
the regiment were captured, and many killed and
wounded. Remaining six weeks in the enemies' hands
with the wounded, they returned paroled to Columbus,
Ohio in October, and prepared for the work of 1863,
down the Mississippi River, and the seige of Vicks-
burgh, in all of which he (Dr. Gill) participated.
After that campaign and the second attack on Jack-
son, Miss., they spent the fall and winter in scout-
ing, and doing guard duty. He had applied for per-
mission to ap]:)ear before the United States Medical
board for examination for Surgeon of Volunteers, a
higher ]:)Osition than Surgeon of a Regiment, though
of the same rank (Major of Cavalry). The number
of such was limited by law of Congress. A ten
days' examination satisfied the authorities and he
received his commission from Abraham Lincoln. (It
is believed the first vacancy). He was at once sent

— 151 —

to the Atlantic Campaign, and very early assigned as
Surgeon in chief of the first Division, 20th Army
Corps, Gen. Joe Hooker's fighting corps. This posi-
tion he held to the close of the war, finishing the
Atlantic campaign, the famous march to the sea, the
Carolina Campaign, and so on to the great Review at
Washington in 1865. He went with the Western
troops, west to Louisville, Ky., and was honorably
mustered out in August 1865. Spent the fall in
travelinof, the winter at the Jefferson Medical College.
In May 1866 he sailed for Europe where he spent two
years of hard study in hospitals, sixteen months in
Germany, the remainder of the time in Paris, Geneva,
and London, and returned to New York in May 1868,
and recommenced the practice of his profession in
St. Louis, in Oct. , 1868. There he practiced and was
associate editor of the St. Louis Medical and Surgi-
cal Journal until 1873. When at the solicitation of
friends he removed to Jersey ville. 111. About 1875
or 6, the degree of A. M. was conferred on Dr. Gill
by McKendree College, Lelianon, 111. , and the degree
of L.L.D. by the University of Wooster, Ohio in
1885, the Medical Department of which was located
in Cleveland, O., where he was living and lecturing
in the Medical College, occupjdng the chair of Clini-
cal Surgery. In 1881 he was appointed Physician to
Southern lillinois Penitentiary, where he did some of
his best work. In March 1865 he received the first
Brevet (Lt. Colonel) of any medical officer from the
state of Ohio. From Chester, 111., (Southern 111.
Penitentiary), he was urged to take the chair of Sur-
gery in the Medical Department of the University of
Wooster, at Cleveland, Ohio, which position he
filled for over two j^ears. then resigned on account
of over work, and sevei'it}' of climate. In Oct., 1886,
he removed to El Dorado, Butler Co. , Kansas. Hav-
ing at that time just completed his work on '' Diph-
theria, Croup and Tracheotomy," a work which cost
him much labor. In the spring of 1855, Dr. Gill
joined the M. E. church, of which he has been a
member ever since, and has held every official posi-
tion up to President of the "Lay Electoral Confer-

III. Martin Fretz, born on the Old Homestead, in

71y., Im., 19d. Farmer and Linseed Oil manufr. He
lived in Hilltown Twp. , near Yost's Mill, on the farm
now occupied by Jacob Smith. He was an honest,
upright man, and held in high esteem. As a chris-
tian,"he endeavored faithfully to discharge his religious
duties, in all of which he was conscientiously strict.
He never allowed any member of his family to leave
the church before the benediction was pronounced. An
adage of his was: "Wernausgeht vor dem segen,
geht dem fluch entgegen." Though at times taking
a smoke, it was a saying of his, "That he never
wanted to be a slave to tobacco or whisky." In the
time of the subject of this sketch, many of the lux-
uries of the present day were not enjoyed. There
were no carpets, and no parlor matches in those days.
Sometimes they had to go to neighbors for fire, and
on one occasion the Fretz' meadow was set on fire by
borrowed fire. For the married girls in those days
the dry goods outfit was mostly home-made. The
spinning wheel was one of the fixtures of the family,
and in this family of ten girls there were six spinning

— 188 —

wheels going at one time, commeneing at 5 o'clock in
the morning, and continuing until 10 and 11 P. M.
One of the daughters, Mrs. Susanna Funk, generally
spun 18 cuts of flax per day, and one day she spun
20 cuts. The reel and the shaving bench were in
the same room. Martin Fretz was one of the first
to get a Dearborn pleasure wagon. Bows and cover
were taken along, and if wanted, in case of rain, were
put up. Among the relics of this home is a bar of
soap made by his wife in 1816, one of her last acts,
now in the possession of a grand-daughter, Esther
Hunsberger, of Dublin, Pa. Martin Fretz was twice
married. His first wife was Anna Kratz, by whom he
had fifteen children. She was born Sept. 11, 1768; died
June 24, 1816. He married for his second wife Anna
Licey — . They were members of the Mennonite
church at Blooming Glen, where he and his wives lie
buried. The children, all by the first wife, are: Bar-
bara, Mary, Agnes, Betsey, Betsey, Nancy, Veronica,
Martin, Martin, Susanna, Silas, Veronica, Catharine,
Leah, Kachel.

again in 1856. In the spring of 1857, after closing

V. Abraham Kratz Funk, born in Hilltown, Bucks
Co.. Jan. 20. 1840. His early years were spent on
Ml father's farm. He attended school about four
months usually in the winter, and a month or two
during the summer. He commenced teaching in the
public schools of the county, at the age of 18, under
the County Superintendency of Wm. H. Johnson.
He attended school at Freeland Seminary, at Free-
land, now Collegeville, Montgomery Co., in 1859,
and the Excelsior Normal Institute, at Carversville,
Bucks Co., in 1861. After spending five years in
farming durino- the summer and teaching in winter,
he went to Chicago, 111., in the spring of 1863
and engaged in the lumber business. i\^ter a resi-
dence of five years in Chicago, he went to Elkhart,
and there entered into a copartnership with his
brother, under the firm name of John F. Funk &
Brother, as publishers and booksellers. They con-
tinued the publication of the Herald of Truth, and
Der Hcrold der Wahrheit, and also issued during the
continuance of the co-partnership a number of relig-
ious works, the most important of which was the
great book of Martyrs, in the German language, con-
taining over 1100 quarto pages, and the complete
works of Menno Simon, which was translated from
the Holland and printed in English. In 1875 he
became one of the principal stock-holders in the Men-

— 211 —

nonite Publishing Co. , which was then organized, and
has since held the position of Secretary and Treasurer
of that institution. He married Annie M. Landis,

(VI.) Edna Josephine, (VI.) Esther Winifi-ed.
V. Jacob Silas Funk was born in Hilltown Twp.,
Bucks Co., Pa., Apr. 13, 1842. He spent his early
days on his father's farm, and received as was cus-
tomary in those days, a fair, common school educa-
tion. He afterwards, during the early part of 1862
and the summer of 1863, spent two terms at the
Excelsior Normal Institute, at Carversville, Bucks
Co. He taught in the schools of his native county,
from 1862 to 1865. In the spring of 1865 he gave up
that vocation and went to Chicago, 111., and engaged
in the Lunber business. On the 28th of Sept., of
the same year he purchased a scholarship in the East-
man Business College of that city, and took a com-
mercial course, attending evenings only. After four
years' residence in Chicago, he determined to engage
in business for himself, and accordinglj^, in the spring
of 1869, located at Chillicothe, Mo., where he opened
a lumber yard and commenced business on his own
account. On the 15th of January following (1870),
he was married to Annie K. Stover, daughter of
Jonas Stover, of E. Rockhill Twp., Bucks Co., Pa.
He afterwards became connected with the North
Western Lumber Co., who had their mills at Eau
Claire, Wisconsin, and extensive yards at Hannibal,
Mo.; and on the 20th of Apr., 1880, moved with his
family, from Chillicothe to Hannibal. Afterwards
when the duties of his position required him to be
mostly in the neighborhood where the mills of the
company were located, he found it more economical
and convenient to have his family in that vicinity
also, and accordingly, on the 20th of July, 1885,
removed to Minneapolis, Minn. He continued with
the above firm eleven years, during which time he
gained with them the highest esteem and respect,
both for his conscientious business integrity and his

- 212 —

excellent qualifications for the work in which he was
engacred. In the spring of 1890 he severed his rela-
tions with N. W. Lumber Co., but the warm feeling
of esteem and respect which he had won for himself
during these extended business relations, continued
to the end of his life. He took an active part in the
various civil, social and religious movements of the
day, and was always ready and willing to assist in all
enterprises of public interest, and held continuously
positions of responsibility and honor. Soon after his
removal to Chillicothe, in 1869, he was elected super-
intendent of the Sunday School of the Presbyterian
church of that city, which position he held until his
removal to Hannibal in 1880, He was converted and
united with the Third Presbyterian Church of Chicago
during the time of his residence there. In 1871 or 72
he was elected elder of the First Presbyterian Church
of Chillicothe, He was secretary of the School Board
of that city, and through his influence, was built the
beautiful new school building, costing from $45,000
to $50,000. In 1875 he was also member of the City
Council. During the last three years of his residence
in Chillicothe he was correspondent of the "Globe
Democrat,'' a Republican paper of St. Louis. During
the summer of 1890, after severing his connection
with the N, W. L. Co., he, with A, Fiero, was
appointed, by the Lumber Manufacturers of the N.
W,, to inspect the system of grading employed by
the leading manufacturers of the northwest, and their
report was received with much favor and satisfaction.
After the completion of this commission, he became
connected with the T, B. Scott Lumber Co., of Mer-
rill, Wis., and during a business trip through Illinois
ancl Indiana he was taken sick with a severe bilious
attack, and after nearly a week of suffering in hotels,
in Terre Haute, Ind., Chicago, 111., and on the road,
he reached his home in Minneapolis, Minn., on the
22d of Sept. The disease assumed a complicated
form which resulted in blood poisoning, and after
three weeks more of intense sufl'ering, which he bore
with patience, he died on the 15th of October, 1890,
aged 18 y., 6 m. and 2 d, Presbyterians. Children:

IV. Rachel Fretz, born in Hilltown Twp., Bucks
Co., Pa., Jan. 1, 1814; died Dec. 11, 1858. At an,
early age she lost her mother, and the only remem-
brances she had of her fond parent were the recollec-
tions of early childhood. It is related that on the
clay of her mother's funeral, she stood beside her
casket, calling her mamma to listen to her child-like
questions. She received such educational advantages
as the public Schools, of that early period, afforded.
She read both German and English well, and in later
years, the reading of German Poetry afforded her
especial pleasure. She was a constant reader of the
Bible, and delighted to call the attention of her own
famih" to the beauty of its precepts. She was mar-
ried to Henry S. Krout, of Bedminster, Nov. 2, 1835.

— 217 —

He was born Apr. 10, 1810; died May 30, 1888. They
lived near Line Lexington for eight years. Then
moved to the homestead of the Krout family, on the
Deep Run, where six more years of their busy lives
were spent in tilling the soil that had been cultivated
for more then a century by the paternal ancestral
line. While residing here they determined to own a
home of their own, and purchased and occupied the
Kramer farm, on the east branch of Perkiomen Creek.
While living here the family ties were broken. The
mother having contracted consumption, was called to
precede the rest of the family circle and join the
great majority in the eternal world beyond the shad-
owy vale. She was a truly pious mother, and her
chief care was to bring up her children in the nurture
and admonition of the Lord. Above all she loved
her family, her church, her Savior, and her God. They
were members of the Mennonite Church at Deep
Run. Children: Jacob, Martin, Abraham, John.

V. Jacob F. Krout, born in Bucks Co., Pa., Oct. 29,
1836. He always lived under the parental roof, and
after the decease of his father, came into possession
of the homestead, in Bedminster, where he is the
proprietor of the farm and the Bedminster Nursery
of Fruit and Ornamental Trees. By industry and
frugalit}^ he has acquired much success as a farmer
and nurseryman. He is unmarried and a member of
the Mennonite church at Deep Run.

V. Martin F. Krout, born in Bucks Co., Pa., Nov.
3, 1838; died Apr. 20, 1876. He lived with his pa-
rents and worked on the farm until he was twenty-
one years of age. He then took a position in a mer-
cantile house in Philadelphia, where during his four
years of service, he became thoroughly conversant
with the" business and enjoyed the confidence of all.
In 1862 he went to River Styx, Ohio, and engaged in
Tanning, in which business he continued for a time.
He then purchased a farm near that town, and settled
upon it, where he remained until his death. He mar-
ried Rebecca, daughter of Dr. Wm. Andrews, of
River Styx, Ohio, Oct. 2, 1861. Children: James
and Wm, Arthur.

VI. William Arthur Kront, born Apr. 20, 1871.
V. Abraham F. K. Krout, born in Bucks Co., Pa.,
Feb. 2, 1813. He lived at home until he' was nine-
teen years of age. He then entered the North Wales
Institute to obtain a more thorouoh education than
the public schools afforded. Here he remained about
a year. In the Fall of 1862 he commenced teaching,
and until 1868 taught successively in the Deep Run,
Rocky Ridge, Algards, Sellersville and Plumstead-
ville Schools. In 1868 he took charge of the West
Bethlehem Schools, Lehigh Co. , and in 1860 accepted
the Principalship of Coplay schools, in the same Co.
Here he remained from Sept. '69 to June '83, when
he asked to be relieved to become the accountant and
cashier for Coplay, Iron Co. This position he held
from July '83 to Oct. '88. In the Fall of 1889 he
took charge of the Borough Schools of Emlenton,
Venango Co., P., where, as Principal, he reorganized
the school system, and introduced a number of im-
portant changes for the improvement of the Public
schools in that nnmicipality. Having been offered still
better inducements l)y the Board of Education of the
Lehighton Borough Schools, he will in the future
have the Principalship and supervision of the schools
of that growing town on the Lehigh. Through all
these years of teaching there is one idea that has
never been lost sight of, namely, that of self-im-
provement. The schooling at the academy was only
the beginning of a life of study. In 1876 he appeared
before the State Board of Examiners, passed the
examination an J was granted a Normal Certificate as
. Teacher of Didactics. He found much pleasure in
pursuing a course of general studies in science and
language, and in 1877 Franklin and ]\Iarshall College
recognized his industry as a student and conferred on
him the Honorary Degree of A. M. He has been a
member of the Pennsjdvania State Teachers' Asst'n
since 1877, and an active member of the Touvey Bo-
tanical Club of Columbia College, New York City,
since Oct, 1S81. Having the confidence of the peo-

qiicntly called upon to fill positions of honor and
responsibility. He was the first commissioned Justice
of the Peace for this Borough, and has continuously
held this office from 1869 to 1890. He was Secretary
of the Town Council for thirteen years, and a school
Director while serving the Coplay Iron Co. The
Judges of the Courts frequently appointed him to
serve on road juries and commissions and there are
few townships in Lehigh Co., in which he has not
been called to execute these appointments. Being a
member of the Eef. ch. he took an active interest in
the founding of Trinity Congregation, at Cophiy, in
1872. He served as deacon and was for many years
the Sec'y of the Consistory. He was the Superin-
tendent of the Sabbath Schools of this congregation
for eii^hteen years. He married Mary C. Moyer, of
Skipp^ack, Montgomery Co., Pa., Oct. 1, 1868. Chil-

Old JFretz' homestead, in Bedminster Twp. The farm
consisting of about 255 acres he inherited from his
father. He was an honest, upright citizen, a con-
scientious Christian, and much esteemed by the com-
munity in which he lived. It is related that while he
was working in the field one day, a man rode up, and
seeing his fine cows, wanted to buy one, but he did
not want to sell. The man however insisted and
asked him to set a price. He then thought that if he
should ask double what the cow was worth, the man
would leave without buying. But contrary to his
expectation, the man laid down the money and drove
the cow off. After the man was gone, he talked the
matter over with his wife, and they decided it was
"usury." So he mounted a horse, rode after the man,
and gave him back half of the money, saying, "I
don't want to be damned for a cow." He and his wife
were members of the Mennonite church at Deep Run,
of which he was for many years a deacon. Children:

fall of 1882 he accepted the nomination of the Repub-
lican party as a candidate to the State Legislature,
which was tendered him, but his party being in the
minority in that year's campaign, he was, with the
rest of the ticket, defeated. In 1883 the Second Men-
nonite church at Deep Run called him to be their
minister, and he was accordingly ordained by Bish.
Moses Gottschall on Oct. 13, 1883, and installed pas-
tor of the same. Feeling the pressing need of an
English paper in the interests of his branch of the
Mennonite church, he, with the aid of N. B. Grobb,
pastor of the church in Philadelphia, succeeded in
Oct. 1885, in getting out the prospectus of "TAe
Mennonite^'' which was laid before the conference and
accepted as one of the periodicals of the church. He
is still one of the editors of the paper, which has
steadily increased in popularity and circulation since
it was started. On Mar. 5, 1884, he was mrd. to

the division he was a trustee of the old church, but
cast his lot with the new church, and was subse-
quently chosen one of its first ministers. In 1853 he

V. Jacob Freeman Hendricks, A. M., born May 15,
1854. He was the youngest and is now the only sur-
viving child. He was given the patriarchal name of
Jacob, being named after his paternal grandfather.
When the boy became of school age, he was sent to
the public school of the vicinity. In 1862, through
the visitation of death, of seven children but two, the
oldest and youngest, were left. A few months later,
marriage having claimed the oldest, led her forth
from beneath the parental roof, leaving the subject
of the sketch the only child at the family fireside. In
'65 his father sold the farm on which he had lived for
many years, and on which he had reared his children
and bought a property near the village of Line Lex-
ington, in Hilltown township, and moved thereon.
Here the boy resumed his attendance at public
school, assisting his father when school was not in
session in the work on the farm and in the chores
about the place. Between '65 and '70, he induced his
father to send him for several short terms to the Line
Lexington Seminary, then a select school for boys
and girls, instead of the public school. In the spring
of '70, thirsting for wider educational advantages, he

— 234 —

induced his father to send him to the Excelsior Nor-
mal Institute at Carversville, then under the Princi-
palship of Rev. F. R. S. Hunsicker, D. D. After a
twelve weeks attendance at this school, he entered
the profession of teaching, taking charge of a school
in Hilltown Twp., and continued to teach in that
township for four successive terms. In the spring of
'71 he entered the Millersville State Normal School
and remained there twelve weeks. In the spring of
'74 he returned to that school and took a short term.
In the fall of that year he was examined by the
County Superintendent of Lehigh County, apd
granted a provisional certificate, having one in every
branch. He was thereupon elected principal of the
Schools of Rittersville, in that county. After teach-
ing there several months he was granted a profes-
sional certificate. In the spring of '75 he returned to
Millersville to finish his course, graduating with
honors in the class of '76, and the degree of Bachelor
of the Elements. In the fall of '76 he took charge
of a school at Breinigsville, Lehigh County. During
this term he gained prominence among the teach-
ers of the county. At the County Teacher's Institute
of that year, he was made Secretary of the Institute,
appointed to open the discussion on one of the topics,
chosen delegate to the State Teacher's Association
and selected as one of the evening lecturers. In the
fall of '77 he took charge of a school in East Donegal
Township, Lancaster County. During this term he
gave some attention to public lecturing, appearing,
among other audiences, before the Page Literary
Society of Millersville. At the commencement of
'79 he received from his Alma Mater the degree of
Master of the Elements. In the fall of '78 he was
elected teacher of the Intermediate Department of the
Doylestown Borough Public Schools, and before the
close of the term was made Principal and Borough

ning golden testimonials as a teacher, he left the
school room and turned his face in the direction of
the legal profession. He entered the office of Alfred
Fackentball, Esq., and was duly registered as a

- 235 —

student at law. In '81 he was admitted to the Bucks
County Bar, and at once began the practice of law at
the County Capitol. For reasons he has never yet
made known he now adopted as a middle name, the
name Freeraan^ writing his name J. Freeman Hen-
dricks. In the spring of '85, Doylestown Borough
elected him Justice of the Peace by an overwhelming
majority, when his party was hopelessly in the
minority. The same year he was admitted to the
Bryant Literary Union of New York, and again he
entered the lecture field. Since then he has appeared
before County Teacher's Institutes and other dis-
tinguished audiences, and won the strongest testi-
monials. At the commencement of '86 Ursinus Col-
lege conferred on him the honorary degree of Master
of Arts. He is a Republican in politics, and a Presbyte-
rian in religion. He still resides in Doylestown,
figuring as a lawyer. Justice and lecturer.

Sarah (iDetweiler) Fretz, was born on the old John
Fretz' homestead in Bedminster, Nov. 16, 1844. At
the age of six years his mother died of a lingering
illness. He remained at home with his father until
the spring of 1855, when he was hired out on the
farm of the late Jonas Meyers, of Bedminster, where
he remained nearly two years. The following year he
was with the late Reuben Stover, and the succeeding
year with Aaron Tyson, working on the farm in the
summer months and attending school at Bedminster,
during the winter terms. His father having resumed
farming he returned home in the spring of 1859, and
assisted on the farm, attending school during the
winter months at Fretz Valley. In the spring of 1862
he attended a term at "The North Wales Institute,"
under the principalship of A. S. Overholt. He also
attended the spring term of 1863, at the same insti-
tution. In the summer of 1864 he took a course at
'"Eastman Business College" at Poughkepsie, N. Y.,
graduating July 12. In the Antumn of 1862, he
secured a certificate of County Superintendent S. S.
Overholt, and taught his first term of school in the
"Old Octagon" school house, near Fountain ville.
He continued teaching for the next three years —
teaching at the Monroe school, Durham; and the
Fretz Valley school, Bedminster, and closing his
career as teacher at Croufs school, Rockhill. Dur-
ing this last term he commenced reading medicine
under his preceptor, Dr. 1. S. Moyer, then at Plum-
steadville, Bucks Co. After the close of the school
term he devoted all his time to medicine, and entered
the oflice of his preceptor as a regular student, and

adelphia. Durino; the succeeding two years he applied
himself closely to study, attended the lectures, and
g;raduated Mar, 18, 1868. Ten days thereafter, on
the 23d of March, he located at Sellersville, Pa., and
entered into partnership with Dr. Nelson Applebach,
for the practice of his profession. He met with suc-
cess, and in a few years succeeded in acquiring a
lucrative practice, and establishing himself in the
conlidence and esteem of the community. In the
autumn of 1871, he dissolved the business partner-
ship with Dr. Applebach to enter into a life partner-
ship with Miss Kate B. Everhart, daughter of the
late Dr. Charles W. Everhart, of Sellersville. — The
study of Botany and the collection of specimens of
plants and flowers has been one of his favorite pur-
suits. He has added many new and rare plants to
the known flora of Bucks Co., besides having dis-
covered one new to the state flora, and also a
variety not before known to science. His herbarium
not only contains a complete set of all the plants in
Bucks Co., but a very large majority of the plants
growing east of the Mississippi, including not less
than ten thousand specimens and about four thousand
diffierent species and varieties. — Dr. Fretz is a mem-

his third wife, Betsey Landis. She was born Nov. 16,
1799; died Feb. 13, 1887. In early life Isaac Fretz
followed the vocation of farmer. He owned and lived
on the farm in Tinicum Twp. , now owned and occu-
pied by Henry F. Myers. He also for a time had
teams on the road freighting goods from Philadelphia
to Easton, Bethlehem, and Nazareth, with an occa-
sional visit to Pittsburg and other points west. Dur-
ing his absence from home Mar. 4, 1804, his barn
was struck by lightning and burned. On this occasion
his wife Veronica, displayed heroic energy, in rescu-
ing horses and cattle from the burning building, and
undoubtedly would have perished herself in the
flames, had she not at last been held back by the
neighbors. In spite of all efforts to rescue the cattle
from the flames, one horse and fourteen (some say 21)
head of cattle perished. In 1815, Isaac built what is
now known as the Fretz Valley Mill, on the Tohickon
Creek, and in addition to farming operated the mill.
During his busy life he succeeded to competency, and
accumulated nearly 300 acres of land. He and wives
were members of the Mennonite church. He, how-
ever, respected all denominations, and would never
(without reproof) allow any one in his presence to
speak lightly of any church, or church ordinance.

house carrying his "kit" with him. At the age of
twenty-one, he apprenticed himself to the milling
trade which he followed many years. About 1818 he,
in company with Samuel, son of "lame Anthony
Fretz, and "Velvet" Henry Fretz, made a trip to
Canada, to visit friends and relatives there. The
entire trip was made on foot, and was attended with

— 240 —

the usual amount of adventures. At an early age he
connected himself with the Mennonite church, but on
marrying a Ger, Ref. lady, he was excluded from
membership, and so remained until the division, twen-
ty-six years later, when he and wife connected them-
selves with the New Mennonites. He was at one time
nominated for Deacon, but not elected. He served
as trustee for some time, and was the second sexton
of the church, which position he held for over
twenty-two years. Children: Susanna, Catharine,

While there he was appointed chaplin of the institu-
tion for one winter. While at Millersville, he became

Public. In June 1841, he joined a Volunteer Co. , in
the "Santa Fe Expedition," under Gen. Hugh M'Leod.
After undergoing many hardships, the expedition
reached their destination in Sept., with the commis-
sioners who were to treat with the Mexicans. They
were received with every appearance of friendship.
A bountiful meal provided, and while they were en-
joying it they were disarmed by the treacherous Mex-
icans, taken prisoners, and marched barefooted, with
bleeding feet that stained the stones and snow, at
every step, and were driven into sheep cotes, with
one blanket for bed and covering. When on the
march they were required to keep up with the
mounted officers, or be cut down by their captors.
Mr. Denyer, in helping one of his comrades, who was
near fainting from fatigue and weakness, to some wa-
ter, got a little behind and received a cut from a
sword in his side, the scar of which he carried to the

mained nearly a year. In the spring of 1843, he re-

York. In 1858 he moved to Burnett Co., and from
there to Llano Co., Texas, where he followed stock-
raising. Apr. 30, 1861, while out hunting for a lost
cow, he was treacherously shot by an Indian. At the
time of his death he was preparing himself for the
ministry of the M. E. church. South. Zerelda, his
wife, died in 1867. The following is a a poem com-
posed and dedicated to the memory of "Mother,"
beloved wife of Samuel J. Denyer, by their youngest
child, Mrs. Ida E. S. Green.

Mother! ah, how oft that name

Our loving hearts have thrilled,
It soothes to rest in hours of pain,

Though death her pulse has stilled

In life we were her constant care;

And often while we slept,
She o'er us bent in silent! prayer.

While Indians through our barley crept.

They had her loved companion slain.

Disguised in'white-men's'clothes.
Whom he mistook for neighboring friends,

Till they had strung'their bows.

And then upon that April morn.

When death his frame had chilled,
She stood beside that lifeless form.

Her heart with anguish filled.

And when we laid him in the tomb.

And sadly turned awa}-,
Our'mother knew that she alone,

Must guard us night and day.

Nor did she through those years of grief

E'er murmur or repine.
But sought in prayer that sweet relief

Which true believers find.

And when consumption seized her child.

The first that God had given.
She closed in death those eyes so mild,

And said, " We'll meet in heaven."

One year elapsed, then mother left,

To join the host above.
And four small children werf befeft

Of either parents' love,

— 329 —

And now those loved ones round the throne

Are beckoning us away;
Dear brothers, sisters, kindred ones,

Let us the call obey.

Yes! let us follow in the path

This noble woman trod;
Perform oui duty here on earth,
But lean upon our God.

WEAVER JOHN.

II. Barbara Fretz, youngest child of '"Weaver"
John, and Maria Fretz, born — ; died — . Nothing is

CHRISTIAN FRETZ,
BROTHER OF WEAVER JOHN.

(Tinicum Branch.)

I. Christian Fretz (brother of "Weaver" John),
settled in Tinicum Twp. , Bucks Co. , Pa. , along the
Tinicum creek, at the place now known as Heaney's
Mill. The house stood on the opposite side of the
road, a short distance from the present one. The
farm originally contained about 140 acres, and is
now divided into three tracts. The present house is
of stone, was built by his son Christian, and is now
over one hundred years old. The homestead with
about 40 acres of the original tract, is owned and*
occupied by Joseph M. Hockman. Sixty-five acres
are owned by Henry S. Wolfinger, and 25 acres by^
— Johnson. It is probable that some of his children
scattered early, were lost sight of and forgotten, so
that nothing definite is known of but three or four
of them, although there are slight evidences of others.
So far, in our investigations, we have not learned that
he had any daughters. His children that are known
were: Abraham, Mark, Christian Daniel. Those who
probably were or are supposed to have been his chil-
dren, are: John, Jacob, Henry.

DESCENDANTS OF ABRAHAM FRETZ, SON
OF CHRISTIAN FRETZ OF TINICUM.

II. Abraham Fretz (son of Christian Fretz, of Tini-
cum). The date of his birth is not known, but he was
born as early as 1745, or before that date. When he
died is not known. He was married to Dorothea
Kulp**— . In 1775 he purchased a farm in Bedminster
Twp. , .consisting of 224 acres, of Alexander Brown,
who purchased it from Richard and Thomas Penn
(Governors and Esqs.), in 1758. The farm is now di-
vided into four farms, owned and occupied as follows:
Jacob F. Hockman, on the north; Levi Hockman on
the north-east; and Anthony R. Fretz and Quincy A,
Fretz oij the south-west. It is quite probable that
Abraham Fretz and his wife were among the early
worshipers of the Mennonite church at Deep Run,
and buried there. Their children were: Judith, Eliza-
beth, Henry, Joseph, Esther, Anna, Barbara.

III. Judith Fretz, born Oct. 2, 1767; died Nov. 7,
1847. Mrd. John Meyer (his second wife) July 3,
1788. He died July 10, 1814. They lived on a farm
on the Durham road, S. E. of Pipersville. They were
members of the Mennonite ch. Children: Abraham,
John, Christian, Joseph, Jacob, Christian, William,
Dorothea, Samuel, Isaac.

* It is rather remarkable that the three brothers, Abraham,
Mark and Christian Fretz, married three sisters, viz: Dorothea,
Gertrude, and Judith Kulp; and a cousin, John Fretz of the
Bedminster Branch, who emigrated to Canada, married Mary
Kulp, also a sister of the above.

Tvvp., Bucks Co., Jan. 6, 1856, and was reared on
his father's farm and mill property, on the Tohickon
creek, in Tinicum Twp., and attended the public
schools during the winter months. At the age of 20
he attended the Mennonite Seminary, at Wadsworth,
Ohio, for a year, and began teaching in the public
schools of Tinicum in the fall of 1876. The following
two years he taught the Pipersville school, and during
the summer term attended the Millersville State Nor-
mal School. In Sept. 1879 he again entered the Nor-
mal school at Millersville for a year, and while there
was tendered and accepted the position of assistant
Principal of the Tressler Orphan's Home at Loysville,
Perry Co., Pa. After filling the responsible position
very acceptably to the Board of Trustees for two
years, he resigned, and spent several months travel-
ing, visiting numerous national" cemeteries, and old
battle fields, and various places of interest in some of
the Southern States. In Sept. 1882, he entered the
oflice of Dr. S. S. Brumbaugh, at Pipersville, Pa.,
and began the study of medicine. He studied under
the eflScient supervision of his preceptor, Dr. Brum-
baugh, until the following year, when he entered the
Missouri Medical College, at St. Louis, from which
institution he graduated as Physician and Surgeon in
Mar. 1885. Returning East, he, in order to become a
practicing physician in Pa., passed a creditable ex-
amination at the Medico Chirurgical College of Phila-
delphia, and since Apr. 1885, he has been a practicing
physician and surgeon at Blooming Glen, where by
good success and his ambition to become more pro-
ficient in his profession, he has gained the confidence
of the people, and is enjoying a lucrative practice.

We must forever part."
